Bringing arena rock to the Volunteer State — from Nashville's honky-tonk heart to the mountains of East Tennessee.
Head Games is proud to bring the full Foreigner concert experience to Tennessee — a state with one of the deepest musical heritages in America. From the legendary stages of Nashville to the intimate theaters of East Tennessee, Head Games delivers the arena rock energy, precision musicianship, and iconic catalog that made Foreigner one of the best-selling bands of all time. Tennessee audiences know great music when they hear it, and Head Games brings exactly that: every soaring vocal, every driving guitar riff, every unforgettable chorus performed with the power and authenticity that fans deserve.
Since 2015, Head Games has been touring the Southeast and beyond, performing at theaters, festivals, casinos, corporate events, and community celebrations. Tennessee is a natural home for the band's brand of classic rock — a state where live music isn't just entertainment, it's a way of life. Whether you're booking a Foreigner tribute band in Nashville, looking for live entertainment in Elizabethton, or planning a festival in Knoxville, Head Games delivers a show that leaves audiences on their feet and talking about the experience for weeks.
Head Games has performed in Tennessee and is available for booking throughout the state. The band has a special connection to Elizabethton, having performed at City of Elizabethton events that showcase the town's commitment to bringing quality live entertainment to the community. Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Elizabethton and the broader Tri-Cities region of Northeast Tennessee have a thriving arts and music scene that perfectly complements the energy of a Foreigner tribute show.
Nashville needs no introduction — Music City is the live music capital of the world. While country music may be its calling card, Nashville's audience is deeply knowledgeable about all genres, and classic rock draws massive crowds to the city's premier venues. From the Ryman Auditorium to Ascend Amphitheater, Nashville offers world-class stages where Head Games can deliver the full Foreigner arena experience. Corporate events, private galas, and music festivals in the Nashville metro area are a perfect fit for the band's polished, high-energy performance.
Memphis — the birthplace of rock and roll — brings its own legendary energy to every concert. Memphis audiences grew up on the raw power of electric guitar and understand what it means to feel music in your bones. Venues like the Orpheum Theatre, Minglewood Hall, and the Landers Center provide stages worthy of Foreigner's catalog, and Head Games fills them with the same intensity that once defined Beale Street's golden era.
Knoxville sits at the crossroads of East Tennessee's mountain culture and a thriving university town energy. The Tennessee Theatre, Bijou Theatre, and World's Fair Park all offer exceptional settings for a Foreigner tribute concert. Knoxville's blend of college-town enthusiasm and blue-collar appreciation for great rock makes it one of the most responsive audiences in the state.
Chattanooga has transformed into one of the Southeast's most vibrant entertainment cities. The Tivoli Theatre, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Auditorium, and numerous outdoor venues along the Tennessee River provide stunning backdrops for live rock performances. Chattanooga's revitalized downtown and growing festival scene make it an ideal market for Head Games.
Beyond the major cities, Tennessee is rich with outstanding venues: historic theaters in small towns, outdoor amphitheaters nestled in the Smoky Mountains, county fairgrounds, festival stages, winery event spaces, and corporate retreat venues across the state. Head Games is available for booking in Murfreesboro, Clarksville, Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Franklin, Cookeville, Cleveland, Jackson, Columbia, and every community in between that's ready for a night of world-class Foreigner music.
Tennessee has shaped American music more profoundly than perhaps any other state. From the birth of the blues in Memphis to the creation of country music in Nashville, from the rockabilly explosion of Sun Studio to the progressive bluegrass of the Appalachian highlands — Tennessee audiences have music woven into their DNA. This is a state that doesn't just listen to live music; it lives and breathes it.
Foreigner's legacy fits naturally into Tennessee's musical fabric. The band's arena rock anthems were built on the same foundation of raw emotion, powerful vocals, and masterful guitar work that Tennessee audiences have celebrated for over a century. When Head Games takes a Tennessee stage, the connection is immediate — these are songs that transcend genre boundaries. "I Want To Know What Love Is" carries the same soul-stirring power as any Nashville ballad. "Hot Blooded" hits with the same visceral punch as Memphis rock and roll. "Juke Box Hero" tells the kind of aspirational story that resonates with every musician who ever dreamed of making it.
Tennessee audiences appreciate authentic musicianship. They can tell the difference between a band going through the motions and one that truly inhabits the music. Head Games delivers that authenticity in every performance — the complex keyboard arrangements reproduced with period-accurate tone, the guitar harmonies layered exactly as they were recorded, the vocal performances soaring with the same power and precision that defined Foreigner's platinum-selling records. When you've grown up in a state that produced Elvis, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, and the Allman Brothers, your standards are high. Head Games meets those standards and exceeds them.
When Head Games performs in Tennessee, audiences get the complete Foreigner concert experience — not a watered-down cover set, but a meticulously crafted tribute performance that captures the full power and emotion of Foreigner's legendary live shows. Every song is performed with the arrangements, energy, and precision that fans remember from the band's arena-packing heyday.
The setlist spans Foreigner's entire career, from the raw energy of 1977's debut through the polished power ballads of the mid-1980s. Tennessee fans hear all the hits they know by heart: "Juke Box Hero" with its thundering intro and explosive chorus, "Hot Blooded" driving the crowd to their feet, "Cold As Ice" with its iconic synthesizer hook, "Urgent" building from its sultry verse to its scorching saxophone break, "Double Vision" pounding with relentless energy, and "I Want To Know What Love Is" — the gospel-tinged power ballad that still gives audiences chills nearly four decades after its release.
But Head Games goes deeper than the greatest hits. True Foreigner fans in Tennessee also hear album cuts and deep tracks that showcase the band's full range: "Long, Long Way From Home," "Blue Morning, Blue Day," "Dirty White Boy," "That Was Yesterday," and the title track "Head Games" — songs that reveal the depth of Foreigner's catalog beyond what radio rotation made famous.
The production matches the music. Head Games brings arena-level energy to every stage — whether it's a 500-seat theater in Elizabethton or a 5,000-capacity amphitheater in Nashville. Professional lighting, powerful sound, and a stage presence that commands attention from the first note to the encore. Tennessee venues get a turnkey rock concert that fills seats, moves merchandise, and brings audiences back for more.

The band provides a complete Electronic Press Kit with high-definition video, professional photography, stage plot, technical rider, and testimonials from venues across the Southeast. Whether you're a venue buyer in Nashville, an event planner in Knoxville, a festival organizer in Chattanooga, or a community arts director in Elizabethton — Head Games is ready to deliver a show your audience will never forget.
